LOW-INCOME CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE

Table of Contents

 

As funding permits, child care assistance may be provided to low-income families that have no connection to the Families First program.  This assistance is known as Low-Income Child Care.  Eligibility is redetermined every six months.

 

Approvals for new Low-Income slots were discontinued in 2002.  New additions to the waiting list for Low-Income assistance were stopped in July 2004.  Previously approved cases remain authorized under the following eligibilities, which collectively make up the Low-Income program:

 

·        CCDF-WP: For working parents (with some education in some cases);

 

·        CCDF-ET: For parents involved primarily in education and training (with some work);

 

·        CCDF-TP: For teen parents while attending school; and

 

·        CCDF-DD: For children with diagnosed disabilities who are over age 13.
